Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Australia's government of fuelling antisemitism in the lead up to Sunday's shooting in Sydney.

Fifteen victims have died following the attack on a Jewish festival at Bondi Beach.

Mr Netanyahu says: "Antisemitism is a cancer that spreads when leaders are silent and do not act."

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has laid responsibility for the deadly Bondi shooting attack at the feet of Anthony Albanese, accusing the Australian leader of pouring "fuel on the antisemitism fire" by recognising a Palestinian state.

It is not the first time Mr Netanyahu has criticised Mr Albanese, in a repeat of previous allegations of weak leadership levelled by the Israeli prime minister.

The Israeli prime minister has launched an extraordinary personal attack on Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, saying he has "betrayed" Israel.

In a fiery address overnight, Mr Netanyahu said "antisemitism is a cancer" and that it "spreads when leaders stay silent".

"I call upon you to replace weakness with action, appeasement with resolve. Instead, prime minister, you replaced weakness with weakness and appeasement with more appeasement," Mr Netanyahu said.
